Pens will leave Blueger/ZAR/Tanev unprotected. McCann is just 24 years old. No way.

And no way JEE will be left unprotected from Minnesota. He might win the Seikle this year. Great two-way center. I think he’s like plus 20 something this year with 20 goals..lol.

JEE is a great player, but he’s not going to win the Selke with ROR, Couturier, Bergeron, Stone and others still playing well and being perennial contenders. Give him a couple years and I think he has a shot

Ya, U are probably right. But no way Couturier wins it this year. Although a great two-way player for sure. Phily had the worst D in the NHL this year.

Minnesota will probably choose to protect the 9 skaters total.

They have to protect Z.Parise, M.Zuccarello, M.Johansson. J.Spurgeon, R.Suter and J.Brodin b/c of their NTC’s and NMC’s.

They will probably also protect JEE, K.Fiala, and M.Dumba.

Which leaves the Kracken to select from N.Bonino, M.Folino,J.Greenway, R.Hartman, V.Rassk, or N.Bjugstad.

Parise might agree to waive it, but I doubt it. Greenway seems like the clear choice to me

Or Maybe Marcus Folino
